Hi Robert. This isn't expert advice, but it might be the best you get
at this time of night... ;-)

This is a pretty generic one; the Actual Compiler (TM) has failed to build,
but gnumake has plowed on regardless, obtaining the above error message
as soon as it tries to run the (non-existant) Haskell compiler. You'll
need to backscroll somewhat further through the spam, and see what caused
the compiler build to fail. Or equally, cd to ghc/compiler, and gmake all
again.
Other such classics are "can't find interface (.hi) file for module
"FastString", and stuff about failing to build AdamsBashforth, etc.,
each kilometers of spam away from the actual error... ;-) (Respectively,
gmake boot failure, and gmake compiler error).
Is it possible to tweak the Makefiles to have them halt closer to the
original offender, crack ghc team?
Hope this helps,
Alex.
